The first known painting that is supposed to be of jesus comes from Greece in the 5th or 6th century. It depicts a man with Greek features, not Jewish features. That said, it cannot be anymore inaccurate than anything else from the bible.

When I find myself in times of trouble, Richard Dawkins comes to me, speaking words of reason, now I see, now I see.

A little over 20 years ago Madonna's "Like a Prayer" video portrayed Jesus as black. Of all the various controversies Madonna has stirred up over her career (and bless her over-sexed little heart for that), I think that one got people the most pissed off. Everyone complained about the video as blasphemous but no one would DARE, at least publicly, make the obvious comment about what bothered them about it.

Most likely Jesus, if he even lived, was not black but looked very Arabic like our friend there in the picture. For anyone who saw "The Last Temptation of Christ", I think it's a sure bet he looked nothing like lily white Willem Dafoe.

Shackle their minds when they're bent on the cross
